Arsenal’s Andre Santos tries to cheer himself up with new tattoo

Arsenal defender Andre Santos has been showing off his latest tattoo to the world after having the artwork filmed for a YouTube video.

The new ink, which is on the back of his left leg, was finished last month by Croatian tattoo artist Damir Stancic and reads: ‘No one can take away your pain so don’t let anyone take away your happiness’.

Metro Sport wonder if the message was aimed at Gunners boss Arsene Wenger , who has given the Brazilian defender just nine minutes of Premier League action this season.

Either way, Santos clearly decided that his lack of personal television coverage this campaign needed to be rectified and so swapped Match of the Day for a YouTube video of his tattoo being completed.

It is the Brazilian’s latest off-the-field stunt after he received a 12-month driving ban last week for being caught speeding at 145 mph on the A1 and M25 near to Arsenal’s London Colney training ground.
